Customer Review:

I booked the Observation Saloon for a special birthday celebration and what a fantastic time we had. The carriage seat a maximum of max of 25 people and is furnished with sofas and arm chairs. We chose to take our own buffet and wine but tea and coffee is provided. The staff and volunteers could not have been more helpful. Cannot recommend it enough for something a little different!
